Haglofs Chaos and Creva Jackets
Tough enough for winter, light enough for spring and made for a woman

From the Daistugan cottage in Torsang, Sweden, Victor Haglof had the right idea back in 1914 when he set off to sell his first batch of handmade packs. Quality fit and function are the trademarks of the Haglof brand and the Chaos multi-purpose jacket with a two-layer Gore-tex shell provides the right combination of waterproof yet breathable fabric. Add a fleece or warm thermal layer for Hokkaido winters or go light for riding Gassan in late spring.

The female specific Creva jacket utilizes a three-layer Gore-tex Proshell to keep the cold out while still being able to breathe on backcountry ascents. Cut slightly longer for better hip protection and warmth, the fit is athletic and allows for maximum freedom of movement without any excess fabric to get snagged or impede your vision at high speeds.
